My friends call me flower and they would describe me as selfless. I was granted refugee settlement in 2019. In 2020 during the Covid/19 pandemic I assisted people unable to leave their homes to get their essential food and medication, as a community response volunteer. It was my way of saying thank you to a country that has given me my life back.

I graduated from University earlier this year and had been looking for jobs in vain, when I heard about Ravi’s free photography class for refugees. I signed up because I am always keen to learn and to develop. Navigating the job market as a refugee is pretty hard, my hope is that if I am unable to find work, perhaps I can create the work myself through photography, as I am now more confident behind the Camera. I just want to say a big thank you to Ravi and his team for the opportunity.
